Koplimaa Doubles Through Diaz

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

While Guillaume Diaz is still in contention with 10 players remaining in the €1,100 National Championship, fellow Frenchman Gilbert Diaz, who shares the same last name and nationality, is taking part on Day 1a of the Main Event.

And it hasn't been quite a great start for Diaz just yet. On the heads-up turn of {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, Diaz called the shove of Markku Koplimaa for 7,100 and wanted to muck his cards when he was shown the {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} by Koplimaa. Since it was an all in showdown and one more card to come, Diaz's {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} were exposed and the {5-Diamonds} river was a blank to let Koplimaa double back to more than the starting stack.
